00:00In a recent Get Ready With Me video Simone Biles posted to TikTok, the Olympic gymnast
00:05opened up about how grateful she is for therapy.
00:08Simone Biles is an accomplished gymnast celebrated for her extraordinary skills and achievements
00:13in the sport.
00:14She's won numerous Olympic and World Championship titles, showcasing her mastery with gravity-defying
00:20flips, twists, and impeccable routines.
00:24Biles took to TikTok on Tuesday, August 8th to talk to fans while getting ready to act
00:28as a reserve for the Uneven Bars final.
00:31The athlete took a moment to thank all of those who have supported her throughout her
00:34journey, sharing,
00:35"...I just want to give a quick shout out to all of my supporters that have stuck with
00:39me since Rio, throughout Tokyo, and now supporting me here in Paris.
00:43It's been unreal."
00:44Biles then took the opportunity to get more intimate and shared a bit about her mental
00:48health journey as well.
00:50I've achieved more than my wildest dreams.
00:53You know, I never thought I was going to be competing again because that's how terrified
00:57I was of gymnastics and twisting, so there was a lot of trauma there, so I've had to
01:03put in a lot of work, but shout out to my therapist and shout out to therapy."
01:09By being so vulnerable and honest online, Biles reminded herself, her fellow athletes,
01:14and all her fans that athleticism is just as much about taking care of yourself mentally
01:19as it is physically.
